In a conversation between Bungie employee [[Martin O'Donnell]] and Hoffmeier on the ''halo.bungie.org'' forums, O'Donnell joked that "[...] Jun tripped and broke his neck on the way to escorting Halsey off Reach [and] he's dead." Hoffmeier then drew a short comic strip, named "FoA- THE END", depicting the event, and at the same time, referenced the difficulty of achieving the "If They Came to Hear Me Beg" achievement, as well as many players' confusion upon Jorge calling Halsey "ma'am" with an English accent, which sounds like "mom" in American English.<ref>[http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1100508 '''HBO Forums''': ''Well since you outed me: FoA- THE END *IMG'']</ref> According to Levi Hoffmeier, he was approached by 343 Industries about publishing the graphic novel officially but they ended up putting the project on hold.<ref>[https://twitter.com/LeviWasTaken/status/575369373734412288 '''Twitter''': ''LeviWasTaken'']</ref>
